redifining love
    #4400766 - 07/13/05 05:05 PM (18 years, 8 months ago)

there are times in my life when i think that i have pinpointed what love is... what TRUE love is. but when i look back at those moments (and they were mere moments and very fleeting) i see that what i thought was love, was just selfishness. just a momentary feeling of having exactly what you want right when you want it, and not wanting it to leave. how selfish against that person your cherishing! how selfish that you want to hold them forever and not let another person ever ever look into there eyes again.

THATS not love.

i think if you can say "this is love", then that immidiatly qualifies it as not love. i think the closest way of pinpointing what love is, is to identify what it is not.

most agree that love exists, that there is SOMETHING we call love that floats around in our hearts minds actions or what have you, but if you identify what we feel as love, what anyone feels or defines as there love, it is all selfish.

only when you cannot define it, is when it is this "love".

you can say what love is not, and that simply broadens the magnitude of what it truly is.

love is not selfish, not rude, not degrading, not painful.

it really isnt.

but we associate pain and selfishness and rude behavior and degrading thoughts with the "definition" of love we harbor. but it is in the defining that these traits come out.

do not define your love! in your life simply, define what love is not, and you will truly see what love can feel like.

edit* - but you wont be able to describe it.

hehehe he's on a roll! i like the thoughts you're having tonight man...  :thumbup:

Did you not just make a post criticizing those who seek the meaning behind their feelings? Who are you to tell me what love is or is not? Perhaps your next post should be about hypocrisy.

i just made a post about people who survive but letting other people validate what emotions they have. and really the post was about the people who make it seem like everone must be validated, about the people who want to decide for other what is right and wrong.

and just for the record "weareallone" im not telling anyone to do anything. im simply writing my thoughts with people who i thought might be interested in them.

maybe you shoudl go be one somewhere else instead of calling me a hypocrite?

laid back discussion?

I don't care at all what you write

And you should not care what I write

Nor take offense to it

Very few don't lash out when their beliefs are tried

1. A word used to get a man out of a sticky hole, or indeed into one.
2. A myth created by fairytales, endorsed by movies then destroyed by reality.

damn that's a bit cynical! love, as i've experienced it, is a bit like ego loss - except occuring through the melding of two people, instead of one...
